HAs anyone tried adding tweak to offset Torque Steer? I would think under acceleration this might help but what about during normal racing in the infield? Would this not cause strange behavior in the turns?

Thanks

Beside what everyone has mentioned check for a seized bearing, and see if any hardware is dragging( loose screws).
Also make sure the axle nuts for the front wheels aren't too tight. Another thing to look at is make sure the left rear tire is'nt rubbing the pod, or screws that are to long rubbing the pod. If your running a t-plate car, check for a fatigued plate. Plus make sure you dont have a bent hinge pin up front, or castor block. Also check the chassis plate on a flat surface for tweak. These are things to check to along with everyone elses recommendations. Good Luck..


One more thing 12 scale by having an offset diff has a natural tendacy to torque steer. We set steering trim slightly off so while car is traveling it wont pull. A little counter trim helps!.
